Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 322 I have to keep you alive
Xu Zhiqiong read it right, this was the first group of people they met who were fleeing for their lives down the mountain.

One thing is basically certain now, they are lost.

Not only were they lost, Xu Zhiqiong and Tao Huayuan were also lost, and the group of people who were fleeing for their lives on the mountain were all lost.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Tao Huayuan: "We have fallen into the ecstasy array, do you have a way to break it?"

Tao Huayuan grabbed a handful of soil and held it in her palm until the soil turned into petals and fell from her palm.

This is Tao Huayuan's unique technique. As long as the soil can be turned into petals, the petals will form a flower path on the ground, leading them out of the ecstasy formation.

The soil has turned into petals, and it seems that the technique should be successful.

Unexpectedly, the petals fell to the ground and turned back into soil again.

Crack failed!

Another group of people came running towards him, and a man shouted loudly: "Er Qiuzi, when did you run?"

"It's going down the mountain soon, why don't you rush the ball!"

Xu Zhiqiong released the hidden mirror, stepped forward and grabbed the man named Er Qiuzi, and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Zhiqiong, who suddenly appeared on the mountain road, frightened Erqiuzi out of his wits, and the others screamed and fled in all directions. No one cared about his life or death.

Erqiuzi cried: "Master, I won't do this job anymore, I want to go home!"

"What kind of work are you here for?"

Er Qiuzi was surprised: "Aren't you the master who hired us?"

Xu Zhiqiong was too lazy to explain to him, and asked again: "I asked what do you do?"

"I'm a laborer. I came to the mountain to repair the house for the master. This mountain can eat people, so I won't do this job!"

While speaking, Er Qiuzi scratched and scratched at Xu Zhiqiong, struggling non-stop, Xu Zhiqiong let go of Er Qiuzi, and Er Qiuzi ran away.

what?
Slimy.

Xu Zhiqiong touched the place where the second ball had grabbed, and felt the disgusting stickiness with his hands.

He also seems to be sticky...

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Tao Huayuan: "Taoer, go down the mountain, hurry up!"

Tao Huayuan didn't hesitate, and hastily activated the magic circle at the foot of the mountain.

The yin and yang energy poured into the feet, and the soles of the feet never left the ground. Tao Huayuan's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Tao Huayuan struggled, stood up, and restarted the formation, but it still didn't work.

Even Tao Huayuan's formation was ineffective.

A chill lingered on Xu Zhiqiong's back. For the current plan, there was only one way left.

This move saved Han Chen, but I don't know if it can save Tao Huayuan, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tao'er, hold your breath!"

As long as it was something Xu Zhiqiong ordered, Tao Huayuan never asked more questions, she immediately held her breath, and Xu Zhiqiong wanted to take her back to Zhonglangyuan.

Xu Zhiqiong clenched Zhonglang's seal and Tao Huayuan tightly, and concentrated his thoughts.

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Zhiqiong found that he was still on the mountain road.

Zhonglangyuan has gone back countless times, can this fail?

Xu Zhiqiong tried a few more times. As a judge, he couldn't even go back to the Zhonglang Court. How powerful a magic circle did he encounter?
Xu Zhiqiong touched the sticky thing on his body again, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He supported Tao Huayuan and looked around in the mist.

He walked down the mountain path, walked into a piece of chaotic grass, passed through the dry grass, and then passed through a forest. When he came out from the end of the forest, he saw the familiar mountain path again.

can not go out.

No matter which direction you go, the two will return to the same place.

Another torch was lit ahead, Xu Zhiqiong stopped in the middle of the road, and the woman with the basket on her back staggered and fell to the ground in fright.

The others also just ran for their lives, only her husband stepped forward and hugged her.

Xu Zhiqiong approached step by step, the woman cried, the child cried, and the man also cried: "The hero, spare your life, spare your life!"

Xu Zhiqiong asked, "Where do you come from?"

The man replied: "I'm from Shengtian County!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Shengtian County is at the southernmost point of Huazhou, what are you doing in Qianku Mountain?"

"We are visiting relatives in Yuling during Chinese New Year, so we have to walk this mountain road."

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a moment, and asked: "When is this, why did you think of visiting relatives?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then said: "Our rules in Shengtian, we visit relatives in the third year of junior high school, and we go out in the third year of junior high school. We walked on the road for two days, and today is only the fifth day of junior high school, so it's not too late."

After hearing these words, Tao Huayuan's face was even paler than before.

"Do you know what day it is today?" Tao Huayuan asked again.

"Fifth day!" The man replied confidently, and his wife kept nodding beside him.

Today is the [-]th day of the first month, the last day of the first month.

Xu Zhiqiong snatched the torch from the man, wanting to see what kind of material it was made of and what kind of torch could burn for a month.

Unexpectedly, the man snatched the torch back with all his might, and his strength was so strong that he didn't look like an ordinary person.

This torch is nothing special, just an ordinary piece of wood.

The man said: "Hero, if you want a torch, go pick one up yourself, and we will lend you the torch when the time comes."

The woman said: "Our family can't live without this fire, good man, don't steal it from us."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Okay, I won't rob you, just tell me, what exactly did you encounter on this mountain?"

The man said: "Good man, I don't have time to tell you now, that monster is about to come after him, and if he comes, we will all die."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a ferocious expression: "If you don't say anything, you will die here right now!"

The man hesitated for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong drew out the dagger, and the woman cried beside him: "You just tell the hero!"

The man pursed his lips; "That's a long worm, a huge long worm, thicker than the beam of my house, and the beam of the house can't compare with it, the long worm is lying on the ground, taller than me."

Long worm?

snake?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't understand for a while.

The man went on to say: "Our family was traveling at night, halfway along the road, the long worm suddenly rushed out from the forest, and engulfed me and my wife on the spot.

I struggled desperately. After struggling for a long time, the long worm wrapped us around and ran for an unknown distance, and finally let go.
Let's run quickly, rushing down from the mountain, sir, you have the ability, you fight that long worm, we don't have the ability, we have to leave quickly! "

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Those who ran with you holding torches are all your family members?"

"We don't know them, and we don't know where they come from. We all have torches, so we all gather together to illuminate each other. Good man, we really have to go!"

The husband and wife ran away with their children on their backs. Xu Zhiqiong sat on the ground, speechless for a while.

Tao Huayuan sat next to Xu Zhiqiong, even finding it difficult to speak: "Thief boy, where are we?"

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a while, and said slowly: "We entered the belly of Taotie's outer body."

Tao Huayuan was dazed for a while, she was exhausted physically, her brain was not working well, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Didn't that person just say that he was just a big snake?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "That's not a big snake, it's the tongue of Taotie's body, the whole family was sucked into Taotie's stomach by that tongue, otherwise Taotie would be so kind and let them live."

Tao Huayuan sat aside blankly: "How could it, how could it have entered Taotie's stomach? We haven't seen that monster yet!"

Xu Zhiqiong rubbed the center of his brows, sighed and said, "It's because we made things too big and made it easy for Taotie."

It is indeed simple.

According to Xu Zhiqiong and Tao Huayuan's previous understanding, Taotie's body is like a mountain, he can move, he can eat people, and he will leave when he is full.

But he overlooked one thing, Taotie's personality is equivalent to a true god, even his outer body is wise.

He is not a huge beast, lying on the spot, waiting for Xu Zhiqiong to get close, and then take another bite.

He knew how to strike, and even how to ambush.

He has many ways to swallow people, not necessarily letting you drill into a cave, nor necessarily using his tongue to suck.

From the time Xu Zhiqiong walked up the hillside and smelled the stench, the two of them had already been swallowed by gluttonous stomachs without knowing it.

The wild grass, trees, stones around him, and even the ground under his feet were all swallowed by Taotie, because Taotie's outer body was so huge that Xu Zhiqiong couldn't tell the difference between his inside and outside.

Entering Taotie's stomach, the qi keeps dissipating because Taotie is digesting them!

What should we do now?
Where else can I escape?
Poke a hole in Taotie's stomach and run out?

I don't even know where Taotie's belly is, but where do I poke holes?

What if I don't run?
Stay here to die?

Tao Huayuan suddenly realized: "No wonder I can't touch the magic circle. The magic circle is outside Taotie's body, and it has no connection with me at all.
What should I do, thief boy? "

Tao Huayuan looked at Xu Zhiqiong, but Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.

"Forget it," Tao Huayuan gritted her teeth, and slipped into Xu Zhiqiong's arms, "We'll be together if we die!"

Xu Zhiqiong hugged Tao Huayuan tightly.

After hugging for a while, he let go again.

What is this for?
She follows me, I have to live with her, there is no reason to let her die.

To find ways to!
You have to go out no matter what!
Xu Zhiqiong concentrated his thoughts on the way to get out. The first step is to find an exit, whether it is the belly or the throat, even if it is a valley road, he must find the right direction and not run around in his stomach!
How can I find the right direction?

Find the flesh first to find the direction.

How to find flesh?
Calmly, after thinking about half a cup of tea, Xu Zhiqiong thought of a way.

He took out the medicine bottle from his arms, which contained the Bone Bone Powder that Tong Qingqiu had given him.

When Huagusan encounters flesh, it drills into it. After penetrating into the flesh, a puff of white smoke will come out, and the wound on the flesh will have a burnt smell.

Maybe the skin of Taotie's outer body is under my feet!

Maybe this mountain road I walked is the gluttonous intestines!
Xu Zhiqiong sprinkled a little powder on the ground, looked down, and saw that there was no smell or smoke.

The feet are not skin, but the sand swallowed by Taotie.

It seems that the way out is not so easy to find.

He untied the wind bottle again, and he has been carrying it with him for many days, and the wind bottle has long been full.

Xu Zhiqiong opened the medicine bottle of Huagu Powder, and blew a gust of wind with the wind bottle to blow out some of the medicine.

In the white mist, the white smoke must not be seen, but the smell of burning can be smelled.

Following the direction of the wind, Xu Zhiqiong walked forward slowly. After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Xu Zhiqiong smelled the smell of burning.

The front is empty, there are no cliffs, no stone walls, not even a big tree.

But the burnt smell does emanate from the invisible air.

Is this really gluttonous flesh?
Why can't I see it?
Don't care if you can see it or not.

Xu Zhiqiong first took out the most powerful weapon, the star iron halberd.

He injected the air machine, turned the star iron halberd into a long halberd, and poked lightly at the air in front of him.

It's a real thing, there is a real thing in the air in front of it, this is the flesh of Taotie, or it may be the internal organs of Taotie, at least this time, Xu Zhiqiong found the right direction.

He concentrated all his energy on the tip of the halberd, used the profound meaning of tiger killing and chopping to the limit, concentrated his mind on one point, which was smaller than the tip of a needle, and stabbed forward desperately.

Like a needle piercing a brick, Xu Zhiqiong felt a sharp pain in his hands, and the halberd almost fell to the ground.

Tao Huayuan understood Xu Zhiqiong's intentions, and said aside: "As long as there is a little gap, there is a little gap, I can use the magic circle to take us out."

A little gap!
A little gap shouldn't be hard!
Xu Zhiqiong concentrated all his energy, and once again drew out his halberd, the edge of the halberd pierced forward, and this time it really landed.

The huge impact made the halberd fall from his hand.

No, the difference in personality between the two sides is too far, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't have the strength to hurt Taotie's outer body at all.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the halberd from the ground, and suddenly saw that the halberd turned into a hand halberd.

The energy dissipated so quickly that Xu Zhiqiong couldn't even maintain the shape of the halberd.

It's over, is it over?

Was it just digested by Taotie's body?
Can't just accept fate like this, Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth, raised his halberd and slashed forward, suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear: "Your aura is not good, you can't hurt him, borrow some aura from him."

It was that voice again, the voice that had been disturbing Xu Zhiqiong.

"who are you?"

"Don't care who I am, use the talent I gave you to absorb his strength, and I don't want to die in his stomach!"
